In this article, the authors present foundational elements related to argument extraction in opinion texts with the objective to design a model of how consumers develop argumentation in such texts. A second goal is to analyze and synthesize user preferences and therefore user value systems from these arguments. They show that (1) within the context of opinionated expressions, a number of evaluative expressions with a ‘heavy’ semantic load receive an argumentative interpretation, and (2) that the association of an evaluative expression with a discourse structure such as an elaboration, an illustration, or a reformulation must also be interpreted as an argument. The authors develop a conceptual semantics of these discourse structures and show how they are analyzed using the Dislog programming language, running on the <TextCoop> platform, dedicated to discourse analysis.

The authors show that (1) that the association of an evaluative expression with a discourse structure such as an elaboration, an illustration, or a reformulation must be interpreted as an argument and (2) that the link between a consumer statement and a related argument often requires domain knowledge and dedicated inference schemas. This chapter develops a conceptual semantics of these discourse structures.

In addition, International authors of English RAs in Law Study prefer describing the phenomena and found the problem based on it to describing the previous research. The most common pattern is Complete Pattern. The articles which belong to Complete Pattern have three moves. While the one which has two moves belong to Semi complete and the one which has one move only belong to incomplete pattern. In conclusion, the articles in the three journals are categorized into appropriate articles in term of discourse structure.

This article provides a discourse analysis of a large corpus of televised psychic readings. The goal of this study is to uncover the relationship between the linguistic structure of psychic readings and the psychics’ linguistic agenda. The findings of this study suggest that the psychics’ engage in linguistic tactics that allow them to negotiate and extract specific information from their subjects. The discourse structure of psychic readings facilitates deception, since the subjects, rather than the psychics, are the actual source of subject-specific information in a reading.

Pidato dalam upacara perkawinan adat Jawa adalah bagian penting dalam keseluruhan tradisi bahasa dan budaya Jawa. Sebagai satuan wacana, struktur, dan muatan budaya dalam pidato menyimpan sejumlah permasalahan. Tujuan penelitian menjelaskan penggunaan bahasa, estetika bahasa, dan perubahan wacana pidato. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan sosiolinguistik yang dilengkapi dengan analisis wacana (discourse analysis). Bahan penelitian atau data yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini berupa tuturan lisan pidato perkawinan (PP) yang dapat didokumentasikan selama penelitian. Tuturan yang diambil sebagai data, didokumetasikan dari tuturan langsung dalam upacara perkawinan yang diselenggarakan oleh masyarakat Jawa di wilayah Yogyakarta. Hasil analisis menunjukkan: pertama, bahasa yang digunakan dalam upacara perkawinan masyarakat Jawa antara lain adalah: bahasa Jawa, bahasa Indonesia, bahasa campuran Jawa-Indonesia (Jawindo). Dalam penyampaiannya, wacana pidato kadang-kadang mengalami gejala alih kode dan campur kode, dan mengalami perubahan atau pergantian tingkat tutur. Kedua, unsur-unsur estetika yang digunakan dalam wacana pidato perkawinan yang berhasil ditemukan antara lain adalah: tembung saroja, tembung garba, yogyaswara, keratabasa, tembung entar, paribasan, bebasan, saloka, pepindhan, pralambang, purwakanthi, panambang bunyi ha-, seselan –in-, seselan –um-, tembung kawi, dan diksi religiusitas. Ketiga, terjadinya perubahan wacana pidato perkawinan disebabkan oleh perubahan konteks yang melatarbelakanginya. Konteks dalam hal ini berkaitan dengan situasi atau suasana yang berlangsung dalam upacara tersebut.  Speech in the Javanese wedding ceremony is important part in the Javanese tradition. But, as a unit of discourse, structure, and culture content in speech have several problems. This study aims to explain language usage, language aesthetics and speech discourse changes. This study used the sosiolinguistic approach that accompanied by the discourse analysis. This study used the object and/or data of the oral story about wedding speech (PP: pidato perkawinan) that gathered and documented as long as the study was conducted. The stories taken as data were documented from the direct stories in the wedding ceremony that performed by the Javanese in the area of Yogyakarta. The analysis results performed to the data could describe and explain several problems of this study. First, the spoken language in the wedding ceremony in the Javanese people were the Javanese, the Indonesian, and the mixed language between them called Jawindo (Javanese-Indonesian). Second, the aesthethics elements used in the wedding speech discourse that we found successfully were: tembung saroja, tembung garba, yogyaswara, keratabasa, tembung entar, paribasan, bebasan, saloka, pepindhan, pralambang, purwakanthi, panambang bunyi ha-, seselan -in-, seselan -um-, tembung kawi, and religious diction. Third, the change of the wedding speech discourse was happened because of the change of the underlying context. Context in this case related to the situation and ambience during the ceremony.

Pragmatic Aspects

This study is a discourse analysis of the "Nah Ini Dia" text, the daily text uploaded on online Poskota News. The text is a news text reported a household problem containing "infidelity or the existence of a third party". This study uses a qualitative descriptive discourse analysis approach. The discourse structure, the language style, and the pragmatic aspects are discussed in this study.  In data collection, the recording method is used, in the analysis micro text and macro text analysis methods are used. Micro-text is used to analyze the language style of vocabulary and sentence; macro-text is used to analyze the text discourse structure and the text pragmatic aspects. The research findings are as follows. The schematic structure of the text is the opening of the text (the main/summary of the story, an overview), the content of the text (the beginning of the story, the beginning of the conflict, the peak of the conflict, the climax of the story), and the closing (the author's comments). The language style of the text "Nah Ini Dia" is humorous that makes the stories that are reported neat, interesting, and funny. In fact, the sense of humor that arise can close the irony in it. For this reason, it seems that the humor has become the icon for the text "Nah Ini Dia". The pragmatic aspect of the text "Nah Ini Dia" is the social satire (disputes and hostility between humans) on events that occur in the household, as the smallest form of social society.Kajian ini merupakan analisis wacana pada teks “Nah Ini Dia”, teks muat harian yang terdapat pada Poskota News berbasis daring.

Skema struktur teks ialah pembuka teks (inti/ringkasan berita cerita, gambaran umum), isi teks (awal cerita, awal konflik, puncak konflik, klimaks cerita), dan penutup (komentar penulis). Gaya bahasa teks “Nah Ini Dia” ialah gaya kejenakaan yang menjadikan cerita yang diberitakan itu apik, menarik, dan lucu. Bahkan, kejenakaan yang timbul mampu menutup cerita ironi di dalamnya. Untuk itu, tampaknya kejenakaan itu yang menjadi ikon teks “Nah Ini Dia”.

This study investigates the argumentative statements of Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump during the debates. By employing two theories, Van Dijk's Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) and Toulmin's model of argument, it aims to expose how various ideologies are expressed in the structure of arguments. It uses Toulmin (2003) model of argument to analyze the structures of argumentation during the debates constituting six elements (i.e. claim, data, warrant, backing, qualifier, and rebuttal). While Van Dijk’s framework covering three levels of discourse structure (the meaning, the argumentation and the rhetoric) is used to analyze the reproduction of racism, manipulation, and Islamophobia. The result indicates the discourse of the candidates contributes the reproduction of manipulation by focusing on the positive self-presentation of “us” (civilized) and negative other-presentationof “them” (terrorists) as a mind control of the audience.
